Yesterday was the first day of law school. There was most certainly fear in the air, and I think that most people are just overacting (especially this early in the game - save it for finals). So far as I can tell the greatest difficulty will be keeping up in the reading. Not something I have been known for - not that I don't read quickly, it's just that I don't always read. That is the change I'm going to have to make in my studying, and I plan on leaving my laptop in its bag during class. I just can't be trusted around it - ADD kicks in and next thing you know I'm curious about some API that will download live stock quotes, including quotes from the Tokyo Stock Exchange. (I may have already even started the Perl code at some point.) Back to the point: school is off to a start, and I have the rest of my semester classes today. I don't think that this will be too bad - there is so much hype about law school, especially the first year, and I don't think it is always deserved. Or maybe my undergrad was such a kick in the pants... maybe I'm just speculating too much - it is the first day after all.
